El Camino Real between Hillcrest Drive and North Oak Park Boulevard was blocked off until about 1p.m. as authorities searched by ground and by air for three to four male and three to four female suspects in the area. Grover Beach police, California Highway Patrol and the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office also aided in the search.

Arroyo Grande schools were placed on lockdown as authorities searched the area, but the lockdown was lifted at about 11:30 a.m., Lucia Mar Unified School District spokeswoman Amy Jacobs said.
